      // Connect to the local machine at port 10002.
      // This example will not run if you haven't
      // previously started a server on this port.
      myClient = new Client(this, "127.0.0.1", 10002); 
    } 
    
    void draw() { 
      if (myClient.available() > 0) { 
        background(0);
